What are some good websites to buy chemicals?

Where is the best place to buy glaze chemicals/powders?

  • I am starting to make my own ceramic glazes and I am unsure where the best places are to buy the raw chemicals. Also, how much (LBS) should I buy? It's only me working in my studio and I would like to eventually make enough to for a 5lb bucket for dipping. Finally do some raw chemicals have different names? For example I tried to find Zirconium Silicate and I could only find chemicals labeled "Silicate". Thank you!

  • Answer:

    Ideally find a local suppler Sometimes a chemical has a couple names Example http://ceramicartsdaily.org/glossary/zirconium-silicate/ Somtimes one batch is different from another batch I am a member of a ceramics club The club I am a part of is listed here http://ceramicartsdaily.org/education/guilds/ I join others in some group purchases I don't know about the recipe but sometimes I go as close as I can get mixing 100 grams and do a test of a tea bowl or a test tile I could make suggestions but you need to give a major city you are near Without more information try http://www.axner.com/ http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AjHZpHVaMckwXKqgEFcqFE2bvZx4?p=ceramic+suppliers&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-701
